In Fig. 3 the field. winding e of the auxiliary machine 71. is connected to the terminals of the commutating pole winding w of the main machine 0;. .2 again designates the additional winding of the commutating poles which is fed by the auxiliary machine 11, and which: then regulates the commutating field in dependence on the speed.

In the form shown in Fig. 4 the exciting winding 6 of the auxiliary machine is connected in shunt with and fed by the compensation winding 0 of the main -machine. As shown in Fig. 5, the exciting winding e may be connected in shunt with and fed by the commutating-pole winding w connected in series with the compensation winding 0 oi: the main machine. In all cases these windings can be well designed in practice on account of the weak currents traversing the exciting winding of the auxiliary machine.

In general, it will be less convenient to regulate the commutating fields by varying their magnetic resistance than by varying the exciting ampere turns as described above.

It is to be understood that my invention relates not only to machines having outwardly well-defined commutating poles, but also to all machines having special commutating fields which are dependent on the armature current and, for example, can be produced by a uniformly distributed compensation winding with over-excitation such as shown in Fig. 6 at c. This figure shows otherwise the auxiliary pole arranged similar to the manner shown in Fig. 3.

I claim 1. The herein described method of suppressing sparking in continuous current commutator machines having commutating poles, which consists in weakening the field strength of said poles with increasing speed of said machine.

2. The herein described method of suppressing sparking in continuous current' commutator machines with commutating poles, which consists in weakening and strengthening the field strength of said poles with increasing and decreasing speed of said machine respectively.

3. The herein described method of suppressing sparking in continuous current poles and windings therefor, which consists in decreasing and increasing the effective ampere turns of said windings with increasing and decreasing speed of said machine respectively.

4. In a continuous current commutator machine with commutating poles and windings therefor, the combination with a regulating device coupled to the shaft of said machine, of means for varying the effective ampere turns of said windings in depend ence from said regulating device so as to decrease said effective ampere turns with increasing speed of said machine and to increase said efl'ective ampere turns with decreasing speed of said machine.

5. In a continuous current commutator machine with commutating poles and windings therefor, the combination of an auxiliary dynamo coupled with said machine, electrical connections between said dynamo and said windings, said connections being arranged to weaken the commutating field with increasing speed and strengthen it with decreasing speed.

6. In a continuous current commutator machine, the combination of commutating poles and a main winding therefor, said main winding being connected in series with the armature, with an additional winding for said commutating poles, and means for exciting said additional winding in opposition to said main winding, said means bein operatively depending upon the speed 0 said machine.

7 In a continuous current commutator machine, the combination of commutating poles with a main winding for said poles in series with the armature, an additional winding for said poles, an auxiliary dynamo geared with said machine, the field of said dynamo being connected in shunt to said main winding and said additional winding being excited by said dynamo so as to obtain at increasing speed of said machine a current which is in 0 position to that flowingin said main winding.
